This is the time of year when friends are very important to us.  Their creativity is what makes them special. My friend, RedCherry155, is one of those special people whose talent can leave you speechless, or in this case, "text"-less. She is a very sweet girl whose special talent is creating character t-shirts.  We've all seen character t-shirts many times, but hers make you smile.  From holidays to teddy bears, Elena makes it all. She brings her own special brand of fashion and spunk to her creations. Elena says that she looks at other people's designs and gets ideas from them, but does not copy them. She says, " I want people to know that what they do is totally amazing!"  And that, "They should continue to do what they do best." What is the message to take away from all this?  Let your individuality shine through in everything you do.  Yes, other people have character shirts, but let yours have character.
